A former New England Patriots stalwart suggested that fans should root against Drake Maye to win the 2025 NFL MVP award.

Maye is once again the MVP favorite after steering the Patriots to their 10th straight win on Monday night. David Andrews thinks the second-year quarterback deserves the honor, but the ex-center told CLNS Media’s Mike Kadlick and Taylor Kyles that he hopes Maye doesn’t get it.

“‘Is he the MVP? Yes,” Andrews said. “Do I want him to win it? No.”

Why does Andrews want his 2024 teammate to get snubbed? The Patriots won two of three Super Bowl...

The New England Patriots picked up a fairly comfortable victory over the New York Giants in Week 13, with the final score settling in at 33-15. Thanks to touchdowns from Marcus Jones and Kayshon Boutte, the Pats had a 17-0 lead early in this game that they never relinquished.

For much of the 2025 campaign, the Patriots have been notoriously bad on defense to begin the game, as they frequently allow their opponents to put points on the board on their first drive. After receiving the ball first, though, New England kicked a field goal before forcing New York to...

Drake Maye has jumped back ahead of Matthew Stafford as the betting favorite to win the NFL MVP award. Mina Kimes feels the New England Patriots quarterback warrants that status.

The ESPN analyst labeled Maye the rightful MVP front-runner on her “Mina Kimes Show” podcast. Kimes isn’t dinging the second-year star for New England’s schedule after Maye led a 33-15 victory over the New York Giants on Monday night.

“I do not watch him and go, ‘Wow, he’s feasting on easy competition.’ Maybe more so than any other quarterback, and this is why I believe he is correctly the MVP...

The New England Patriots are enjoying some well-earned time off during their bye week. However, for head coach Mike Vrabel, there was one big order of business he had to take care of before the team returns to action.

During the month of November, Vrabel partook in “Movember,” which saw him grow out a moustache to help raise awareness for men’s health. The cause hit home extra hard for Vrabel this season, as defensive coordinator Terrell Williams has missed the majority of the 2025 campaign after being diagnosed with prostate cancer in September.

Vrabel’s moustache drew quite a bit of...

The New England Patriots are idle in Week 14, but they can take another step toward an AFC East title if the Buffalo Bills falter.

New England wields a 2.5-game division lead entering its bye. While the Patriots can’t clinch the AFC East this weekend, the Bills’ slim chances of mounting a comeback would shrink if they lose to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Buffalo’s defense will be without two key players when it faces Joe Burrow and Co. this Sunday. The Bills ruled out defensive end Joey Bosa (hamstring/wrist) and linebacker Terrel Bernard (elbow) on Friday.

Bosa recorded his team-leading fifth...

There isn’t a Patriots game this week for the first time since late August, so I imagine that a lot of you out there will either be taking this Sunday off from the NFL or tuning into the RedZone Channel, losing the remote between the couch cushions, and spending the day rooting against the various teams competing with New England for a postseason spot while praying to the fantasy gods that you can sneak into one of those last few open playoff slots. And so I thought now would be a good time to send everyone a gentle reminder regarding...

There is not one individual reason why the New England Patriots transformed into one of the best teams in the NFL this season. Rather, their success is a complex mosaic whose parts include quarterback play, coaching, free agency success, player development, injury luck and schedule, among countless other factors.

One that cannot be disregarded among them is rookie performance. In the first year under head coach Mike Vrabel, the Patriots relied heavily on their first-year personnel. Draft picks like first-rounder Will Campbell have been integral to the team’s play this season, as have been lower-profile players brought aboard in the...

Whether you’re a lifelong Patriots fan or flying in from overseas for a major soccer match, Gillette Stadium is a must-visit stop on any New England sports trip.

From fall Sundays on Route 1 to summer concert nights and global soccer showcases, it’s the centerpiece of Patriot Place and one of the region’s busiest venues.

Opened in 2002, Gillette Stadium is home to the New England Patriots and New England Revolution of Major League Soccer.

It has hosted multiple AFC Championship Games, the 2002 MLS Cup and is one of the U.S. venues selected for the FIFA World Cup 2026,...

Former New England Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia is in the middle of an impressive first season as Ohio State’s defensive coordinator.

The Buckeyes boast one of the strongest defenses in college football, and Patricia has done an outstanding job, positioning himself as a strong candidate for a head coaching role.

While a majority of college football head coaching jobs have been filled as of Thursday, Penn State is still looking for a head coach. Centre Daily Times Jon Sauber named Patricia as a possible candidate for the Nittany Lions head coach.

“Patricia is a Bill Belichick disciple who spent...

The New England Patriots have seen their share of quarterbacks pass through their organization over the last decade, and one of them is Jimmy Garoppolo.

Garoppolo hasn’t suited up for New England since the Patriots traded him to the San Francisco 49ers in the middle of the 2017 season. However, there’s a chance he might face off against the Patriots again soon.

Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox thinks Garoppolo could be a good fit for the Miami Dolphins next season.

“The Miami Dolphins could provide the perfect landing spot for Garoppolo, if they choose to retain head coach Mike McDaniel but...

The New England Patriots are on their bye this week, which means that it is time for rest and relaxation. That said, we will naturally still keep a close eye on the rest of the NFL between Thursday, Sunday and Monday. The playoff picture is still taking shape, after all, and the Patriots would appreciate some help in their quest to win the AFC East and earn the No. 1 seed in the conference.

With that said, let’s go through the list and find out who you should be rooting for in Week 14.
